I had a great experience and orientation tour on Auckland City with the Explorer Bus. Awesome service and excellent routing on Auckland.

The ticketing and bus stops was staright forward. The route taken by the Bus for the Blue and Red tour's stopped at some varied places. With buses every 20 mins, it was easy to hop on and off at places of interest. Good information from drivers. I would recomend this tour as a way to get to know Auckland.

I liked the route that goes across all interesting and picturesque places in Auckland, comfortable bus providing access to amazing views, audio guide telling interesting things about history and places. And of course an opportunity to hop on and off!)

The tour changed from red to blue tour at a stop, BUT there was no indication that was going to happen. No indication from the bus driver or announcement. Most people on the bus were annoyed.

Buses were great, did have covered seating on top level, which was needed since it rained a lot while we were there. Narration was interesting and easy to understand. Appreciated not having to use 'ear buds'.
We appreciated that we could do both the red line and the blue line without having to get off and change buses. The first day, when it was raining, we just stayed on board and figured out which stops we wanted to go back to (had 2 day tickets!) This was our main way of getting around Auckland and it worked out well for us.

Easy to do and I liked that the bus changed to and from red and blue tour at the junction point. This saved getting of there if you didn't want to.
I wasn't so impressdc with the end time. This meant I had to leave the mueseum an hour before it closed so I had time to get back to the centre, surely you could extend the service an hour so visitors could remain at difreent attractions until they closed?

The tour was fine, a good way to see varied parts of Auckland. What we didn't like was that there was not one downtown departure point for each tour; it was annoying to have to redo part of the tour of one colour in order to get back to the starting place of the other tour.

Ease of booking online and securing tickets at any stop. The stops all had interesting sights to be seen and experienced.

The number of really good places it stopped. We had pre-purchased tickets and printed them with codes which were accepted at the bus door. YOU NEED AN APP THAT TRACKS WHERE THE BUSSES ARE AND HOW FAR AWAY. We were at the war memorial waiting for a BLUE bus. Spoke to the handler there and he took a long time to tell us 15 minutes for the next blue bus. Took WAY longer than that AND 3 red busses came through in the meantime. Annoying.

The original bus broke down but the driver was wonderful in requesting a replacement bus and, most importantly, kept us informed of progress but it did mean that we spent time standing at the side of the road rather than at some of the destinations.

Great way to get around to the major sites in Auckland. The only downside is that with a large ship in the harbor, it seemed as if everyone from the ship was utilizing your service. There were a couple of times that the bus we'd intended to ride was completely filled, and then one other time we actually had to walk back to our hotel because a bus was filled to capacity and the next bus hadn't arrived for at least a half hour. It felt more like hop off and stay there....

Easy transport to many sites
I understand I uneconomical to have live guides but sure do enjoy them when they are onboard as I have experienced in other hop on hop off
The ticketing process on Customs street was awkward at best
